The new priest, Father Mark is awesome.
Father Mark's message this morning was to discuss the Olympics, the number of metals won by the nations with the highest metal count - and the accomplishments of the athletes. Can you imagine what it would be like if we gave all the athletes a certificate of participation?
As a member of the church, we cannot simply just show up and get a participation trophy. Keep your eyes on the prize, Jesus Christ. When did mediocre become good enough? We have to become the best version of ourselves.
We have to stop the participation trophy complex from running our lives. We run the race to win. We cannot win the race if we get a trophy for just showing up.

The short version of my remarks this morning at the Opening ceremonies for the 62nd St. John Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar
By Baltimore Sun writer Kevin E. Dayhoff, the former
mayor of Westminster from 2001-2005
This year the bazaar is open from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00
p.m.
43 Monroe Street, Westminster, MD 21157
For the past 12-years I have been a journalist at the
Baltimore Sun writing mostly history. At my age I am greatly amused that many
events that took place in my childhood are now studied as history by today’s
school children.
I look forward to the Christmas bazaar every year. When I
was very young, the bazaar was part of a family adventure during the Christmas
season.
During my high school years from 1969 through 1971, I often
attended Mass at St. John with a good friend. I recall when the last Mass was
held on February 4, 1968 at the church building on Main Street in town.
It was just a few short weeks ago that our community came
together to observe Veterans Day. No community does it better than Carroll
County.
I served stateside in the United States Marine Corps Reserve
from 1971 to 1973. Although I was not deployed, it has remained a sobering
event in my life to have stepped-up the plate, despite a high draft number,
signed on the dotted line, and
volunteered to serve during the Vietnam War.
This year, schools set the example for all of Carroll County
by commemorating Veterans Day with many thoughtful, and well-planned services
and programs.
In recent years Veterans Day has turned more somber. In the past, much of the
community came together to celebrate
the end of World War One and World War Two, and the Korean War.
Much of the nation saw nothing to celebrate for decades
after the end of the Vietnam War. The war had dragged-on for over 19 years - for
what seemed an eternity.
After the United States ended its direct involvement in the
war on August 15, 1973, veterans were treated with scorn by the American left
that proudly heaped insult upon injury upon those who served during the war.
Thankfully, the current youngest generation has seen fit to
honor its veterans that have served proudly in the first and second Gulf Wars –
and they treat Vietnam veterans with great dignity and respect.
Over 2.7 million Americans served in the Vietnam War. The
average age was 19. Of that number, 300,000 were wounded in action, and 75,000
were disabled.
It has been estimated that almost 5 million military
personnel and civilians, from all sides, lost their life in the Vietnam War. Of
the 58,200 names listed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC, 1,046
are Marylanders who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Although many Vietnam era vets still harbor a deep-seated
resentment as to how we were treated, the manner in which we are treated by the
youngest generation brings tears to our eyes and has gone a long way to heal
the wounds of decades of being abused and ignored.
Today, we pay a special tribute to the eighteen fallen
heroes from Carroll County, whose faces are etched in the black granite
monument in the Vietnam Memorial Park on Willis Street that was dedicated on
May 28, 1990.
The faces of the eighteen names on the monument are frozen
in time. Some we knew. Some we didn’t. But they were all someone’s son or
father or brother or uncle – or a cherished childhood friend. Their faces have
been silent for many years, but they all have a story to tell.
Today it is only right to recall the profound words from Ephesians,
“Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil, and be armed with the power of the Spirit, so that we may
continue to make the Gospel understandable to those of us, who after many years,
still have unanswered questions…”
God Bless and Semper Fi to all our brothers and sisters in
uniform that served and died to protect our freedoms - and cannot attend the
bazaar. Thank you for having me speak with you today. It was an honor.

The awesome Theresa and Tom Bethune take a minute to answer a few questions about Freedom Broadband
The awesome Theresa
and Tom Bethune take a minute
to answer a few
questions about Freedom Broadband
at the 62nd St John #Christmas Bazaar
43 Monroe St
Westminster 8am-4pm Dec. 5, 2015
Freedom Broadband
Overview and History
Freedom Broadband began as Freedom Wireless Broadband in
January of 2007 to provide cost effective Internet service to under-served
areas in Carroll County. The company started
with a location in Eldersburg, MD and a communications tower in Hampstead, MD,
and grew by leveraging grain elevators, silos and homes to reach locations not
served by wired providers available at that time.
From 2007 until February of 2015, the company expanded
service to Manchester, Mt. Airy, Gamber, Woodbine, and Hampstead, adding (4)
major communications towers, (4) municipal water towers, and numerous grain
elevators, silos and roof mounted access points
serving approximately 185 customers, including 48 farms and commercial
businesses.
In February of 2015, local resident Theresa Bethune
purchased Freedom Wireless Broadband and renamed the company “Freedom
Broadband.” As a customer in an
underserved part of Carroll County (ironically just 6 miles from Westminster,
Hampstead and Manchester), Theresa realized how many areas of Carroll and the
surrounding areas were left with few, if any viable broadband choices.
As a mother to a 13 year old boy and wife of
an Information technology professional, she also knew that life without
broadband was not viable for most families.
The purchase enabled the business to fund major network upgrades, as
well as to drive expansion into more areas throughout Carroll County and surrounding
counties.
Since February, 2015, Freedom Broadband has doubled our
available bandwidth and our customers send and receive more than 1 Terabyte
(TB) of data per day (equal to 1,000
gigabytes-GB, or 1,000,000 megabytes-MB) to/from the Internet each day. We have expanded capacity 400% at the
Manchester Water Tower and Lippy Brothers towers, and added new locations to
serve parts of Mayberry and the Jasontown/Uniontown Road areas. We
have planned tower climbs to grow our service areas in Taneytown and Mt.
Airy/Woodbine.
Together with our sister company, InfoPathways, Freedom
Broadband established a broadband connection to River Valley Ranch, and
deployed wireless infrastructure to improve their communications both on and
off the Ranch.
We are proud to support
4H and the Community Media Center, and provided both wireless infrastructure
and bandwidth to enable live streaming of 4H events.
Why do we do it?
Because we love Carroll County.
We enjoy the rolling countryside and beautiful farm lands. We want to connect people to each other and
the world at large, without forcing them to sacrifice their wooded retreats and
family homesteads. Every time we connect
someone new, we feel an amazing sense of accomplishment.
Our customers are our neighbors and friends – people we see at our local Farmer’s markets, at school or on the athletic fields, at our local restaurants, businesses and events that make our community a great place to live and work.
